Hmmm... it also has EPG info. 9495 TMP T - College Lacrosse(NCAA Division), and Women's College Water Polo is up next.

cstv?

cstv?

Indeed.

Actually the new name is CBSCS but yes, it's the old CSTV channel.

This should be a good hd channel this fall. It is on Direct now but not showing any hd, just stretch. CBSCS did announce about a month ago that they will be showing hd starting THIS college football season.

Agreed. The only problem I have with this channel is too many repeats. With today's DVR technology (yes I know that not everyone has one) sporting event repeats are almost useless.

Can anyone identify?

Of course it could be a bored engineer feeding another engineer that has the day off.

Looks like CBS C HD. Ugh.

Sorry, see a few posters beat me to it.

Who owns CBS these days ? (Thinking of how E* lately has added channels in groups of common ownership.)

Duh, CBS owns CBS.

 

[fz5j2r]

Duh, CBS owns CBS.

Viacom owns CBS.

 

[kstuart]

Viacom owns CBS.

Aha !

That means that all those "Viacom Channels With HD in their Name that Have No HD Content" are also uplinked.

 

[JohnH]

Viacom owns CBS.

You missed the split.

Probably due to back scratching and not actual owbership.

 

[kstuart]

Ok, so Showtime and CBS College have common ownership, and several Showtime channels are already uplinked.

Note that Viacom and CBS still have common ownership, even though they are split into separate organizations.

 

[kstuart]

It seems that - as usual - E* has no problems with ABC/Disney, NBC/Universal, or CBS/CW/Viacom, but continues to have problems with News Corp (Fox).

I'm sure that the major HD channels missing from "HD Absolute" currently are all News Corp - Fox News, FX and Speed.

Thats about it. IMO

 

[BobMurdoch]

Didn't they talk about adding the NY CW in HD?

Right nowthe Superstations are one of the last competitive advantages left for E*. Why not get THEM up in HD?

It's depressing to watch mushyvision when my Mets are on WPIX on most Sundays...

I think you need a new law for that to happen. The -DTs are not superstations.

Add Rainbow Media Holdings (WE-HD, IFC-HD, FUSE-HD & AMC-HD) are not available to us.

Thanks for information Digiblur. I enjoyed watching March Madness highlights on CBS College Sports.

NO. THey are completely separate. Not commonly owned anymore.

That is a disputed matter at thsi point.
